History YMMV / AntiIdleTheGame

** 2012: Ye Olde Pub in ''Arena'', a deserted and dark version of Ye Olde Pub, can be summed up as: "Invisible X encountered! Invisible X encountered! [[spoiler:[[JumpScare Chuck Norris encountered!]]]]"

* ScrappyMechanic: Trying to load decks in [=TukkunFCG=]? The game will simply fail to load if so much as one card is missing. It would be far less frustrating if the game would just let you load an incomplete deck. Likewise Battle Arena will refuse to load a skill build if you don't have enough Skill Points or enough of a particular Skill Book.

* ScrappyMechanic:
** Simple Race in Stadium. Even on ''Easy'', the race becomes difficult to recover from if you collide with a single block.

** The "100% chance to nullify death penalty" weapon bonus gives you the anti-"lose all your rings" perk of a Protection Ring...on a weapon, leaving you free to use the other Rings without worry. You can tweak the RNG to give you this bonus more often in the "Bonus Prefrence" screen, and the Abandoned Lab will allow you to randomly change equipment bonuses up to 50 times a day so you can try to get this bonus on your weapon.

* ThatOneAchievement: Finger Breaker requires you to reach a 10k combo on the Button Machine. You'll have to repair machine once in a while, and you have to do it fast enough or the combo will be lost. There's also chance you will overshoot and break the combo by clicking a broken button. Needless to say, there's quite the room to make a costly mistake.

* HilariousInHindsight: An update in 2011 introduces "Spirit" items to the Battle Arena, which replace the MP meter with a purple Spirit meter. In 2012, a manga for [[Anime/LoveLive a certain idol franchise]] featuring a ''purple''-haired girl with a knack for "spiritual" things as one of the protagonists came about.[[note]]Although ''Love Live!'' media has been in existence since 2010, media that would flesh out the characters and the setting would not get published until 2012.[[/note]]

* NightmareFuel: The Secret Dungeon has a "blob" boss that "evolves" into a smaller and smaller blob...until it's revealed that there what appears to be an entire ''human'' trapped in it.

* GameBreaker: Supply Crates. They give a ton of, basically, everything. You easily gain them every 500 levels, and by certain levels of careers.

*** Within the arcade games is ''[=MindSweeper=]'', aka GuideDangIt: The Game. Once you figure it out though, it is perhaps one of the easier arcade games.

* ThatOneSidequest: Try getting medals in the arcade games. Even Bronze medals are extremely hard to get without enormous amounts of practice. Gold is nearly impossible. Whack-a-Greg is probably the easiest game to get medals on.

* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: Most players focus on ''Battle Arena'', as evidenced by the in-game chat and the main TV Tropes page for this game, where far more examples are related to ''Battle Arena'' than any other mode in the game.
